Thinking about how Hannibal has weaponised everything he has ever learned. Art? He recreates art through corpses as il mostro. Surgery? He uses it to butcher. Culinary skills? He cooks people-meat to his liking. Psychiatry? He learns his clients’ most vulnerable problems and uses it to manipulate them into murderers. It’s in his nature; as though handing him book would turn it into a bludgeoning stone. Everything Hannibal Lecter experiences becomes a blunt instrument to his merciless gaiety.
